the 15-year-old hadiya pendleton was killed a mile from where his job is. the connection is very real for him. the gun violence rate is one of the highest in the country. the poverty rate in the south side of chicago where he will be speaking today, where he was once a community organizer, one of the highest in the country. we've been here a couple of days, talking to community organizers. they say the need has never been greater. so when the president comes here, politically the main thing is to give his message from the state of the union and put it on the ground where the people are and where the situations require it and, of course, south side of chicago is a place where urban violence is very much a foot. however, there's going to be the looming question, are you just giving your speech or are you going to make good on the promises here where you call home? a lot of people are so happy to see the president but they will be even more happy if these words turn into actions and help create opportunities for the kids they say will wind up killing themselve

pendleton was murdered. >> what happened to hadiya is not unique, not unique to chicago, not unique to this country. too many of our children are being taken away from us. >> not unique, but it was a catalyst for this president. hadiya was in washington, d.c., part of a dance troupe performing at inaugural events. >> last year, there were 443 murders with a firearm on the streets of this city. and 65 of those victims were 18 and under. so that's the equivalent of a newtown every four months. >> hadiya's death one week after the inauguration was enough to bring mr. obama back to his home town to address the issue of gun violence, something many here have been asking for for years. the president said stopping violence in chicago and other urban areas could be helped by economic opportunity, education, and the family. fathers, he said, have to be more involved in their childrens' lives. he even brought up his own father who left the family when the future president was an infa infant. >> we have single moms out here, they're heroic what they're doing, and we're so proud of them. but at
